Turmoil is actually a pretty addictive yet simple-looking game which would be a good game for anyone who’s into real-time business titles. It brings quite a lot to the table and has minimalistic and intuitive gameplay but there’s a lot that players do have to take into account while playing.
Madhavan Kannan · Jan 28, 2022 Reviewed onRead full reviewTurmoil is a satisfying experience, much like getting your house cleaned up feels good at the end of the day. Being able to discover all of the oil, drill for it, and then sell it feels great, but unless you’re good with basically doing just that for a while, the tedious loop and lack of interesting upgrades will keep you from feeling like this was anything but an okay experience, even if you’re really into management sims.
Steven Green · Jun 10, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewTurmoil on the Nintendo Switch is a fantastic and addictive experience, wrapped up nicely in a wonderfully simple art style and excellent music, perfect for picking up and playing on the go. Whether you’re in it for the long haul, or just feel like doing some quick digging, Turmoil will keep you coming back time and time again. I highly recommend the game - and specifically this version of it - as I believe this is the optimal way to play Turmoil.
Sam Hallahan · Jun 05, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchAs far as an audience goes, Turmoil is pretty niche. That in itself isn’t a bad thing—there are plenty of cool niche games out there—but I’m at a bit of a loss as to who this game’s target demographic is. It’s kind of fun, yeah, and it kept me entertained for a while, but it’s too long for its own good, and, much like most flash games, I eventually found my mind wandering to what other games I’d rather be playing,
Kenny McKee · May 27, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewEven with the upgrades and competition, Turmoil is the epitome of simplicity. It is more about betting against oneself when drilling, playing an extremely simple market, and exploiting upgrades for the most gain. There is some tough competition to out-earn and that’s fun. Still, it’s more of an amusing diversion to relax with. It’s not tense nor particularly challenging, but it doesn’t have to be. I haven’t yet felt like declaring I’m finished with Turmoil.
Jason Bohn · Jun 04, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewAll in all, The Heat is On is a great addition, letting you explore and drill even more. For the price, $4.99 in the US and £3.99 UK, I would say it’s worth it. If you enjoyed playing Turmoil, you will enjoy The Heat is On as it builds on the original game by adding more features and more mechanics. This game is nice and nostalgic for me because it feels similar to The Oregon Trail, a game I played in grade school. The aesthetic is great and the game is so easy to get into.
ElisaDS · Jun 18, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewTurmoil is a fun way to kill time before a doctor’s appointment or on a short bus ride and with its soft aesthetics and southern charm, it’s a relaxing time, to be sure. However throughout my time with it, I couldn’t help but think that it’d be a more convenient experience playing it on a mobile device; having the option to play it on the TV or slide off the Joy-Cons in handheld mode is nice, but the mobile style gameplay remains the same.
Rachelle Suri-Tucker · Jun 05, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review○ シンプルな作業ゲーだが、プレイヤーができる行動の選択肢が多く、効果が大きく中毒性が高い。アメリカンなBGMもグッド。 △ グラフィックはちょっとチープ目に感じるが、油断するとヤケドするぜ。

the game is good with all the upgrades and stuff, however, it gets boring real quick, not worth it to buy the game.

About the game
Turmoil offers players a visually charming, tongue-in-cheek take on the simulation genre inspired by the 19th century oil rush in North America. Get a taste of the rivalry of the time as you earn your way to become the town
